Entrance Exams for the 2025/2026 Academic Year at New Uzbekistan University

Based on international best practices, applications for admission to New Uzbekistan University began in January of this year for the 2025/2026 academic year.

Entrance exams were held in 13 regions across the country. Since the university’s education is conducted entirely in English, the entrance exams were also held in English.

Let’s look at the numbers: nearly 4,500 applicants submitted their admission forms for the upcoming academic year. What’s most encouraging is that a large proportion of these applicants hold international certificates. In particular, 40% of them have an international SAT certificate—14% more than last year. Additionally, 177 applicants submitted international A-Level certificates.

According to the university’s admission policy, applicants who hold internationally recognized certificates may be awarded the maximum possible score for the relevant subject and may be exempt from certain exams if they choose. Accepted certificates include the SAT, International Baccalaureate (IB), International AS, and A-Level—qualifications recognized by many top universities worldwide.

As of now, 222 applicants with such certificates have already secured admission ahead of the regular selection process.

It is also worth highlighting that this year, 114 applicants achieved a perfect score (800 points) in the Math section of the SAT—an impressive achievement by these bright young minds.

Currently, applicants to programs such as Chemical and Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Applied Mathematics, Economics and Data Science, Pedagogy, and Industrial Management are taking exams in Mathematics and Logical Reasoning.

The test is composed of 40 questions and must be completed within 120 minutes.

Importantly, all exam questions were developed and will be assessed by Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

The entrance exam process is being transparently conducted, with live online broadcasts available to parents and the general public, using video surveillance and other technical tools to ensure fairness.
